4.5

4.5 Stars! I really enjoyed Jennette McCurdy's use of voice in this memoir (and not just because she narrated the audiobook). You get a strong sense of who she is and the things that pull at her from the expectations of her mother, the weight of religion, the loss of self, and the small voice that wants to be happy. More and more is coming out right now about the dangers that child stars face, and Jennette's memoir shows that, sometimes, the call is coming from inside the house. If you are someone who struggles with eating disorders of any kind, this one may be a little much for you in parts (I did have to skip a couple of parts but not a large chunk). Overall, I'm glad she shared her story, and I'm hopeful that she'll be able to live a happier life for herself now.

I listened to Jeanette in her audiobook and it was equal parts cathartic and heart breaking. This book is fascinating and raw and I am so grateful to her for writing it. Hearing her perspective shift throughout her life and see her gain strength and understanding was beautiful and inspiring and painful.
